Uganda President Museveni warns against torture use

Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has written a letter to his top security chiefs warning against the use of torture.

It follows media reports alleging that several people suspected to be connected to the murder of a senior police officer had been tortured.

Mr Museveni said torture was wrong because it was sometimes employed on innocent people, which was unfair, and could lead them to admitting guilt to stop the pain.
